Breaking Barriers: Celebrating Black Business Month and Ownership in Business and Real Estate

Black Business Month, observed yearly in August, is a time to celebrate and honor the contributions of Black entrepreneurs, professionals, and innovators. This month provides an opportunity to recognize Black achievements and shed light on the importance of ownership in business and real estate. By taking control of our economic destiny and building wealth through entrepreneurship and property ownership, we can create a more equitable and prosperous future for ourselves and our communities.

Ownership in business empowers Black entrepreneurs in several ways. First, it allows us to pursue our passions and build wealth on our own terms. By starting and growing businesses we have the freedom to control our destiny, make decisions that align with our values, and create opportunities for others in our communities.

Second, ownership promotes economic self-sufficiency and reduces dependency on traditional employment avenues. Entrepreneurship offers a pathway to financial independence, allowing us to break free from the systemic barriers that have historically limited our economic opportunities. By establishing successful businesses, we can create jobs, generate income, and contribute to the growth and development of our neighborhoods.

Ownership in real estate is another critical aspect of building wealth and promoting economic stability within the Black community. Historically, discriminatory practices such as redlining and restrictive covenants have denied Blacks access to homeownership and property investment opportunities. Black Business Month serves as a reminder of the importance of breaking down these barriers and creating pathways to real estate ownership.

By owning real estate, we can benefit from property appreciation, rental income, and tax advantages. Homeownership, in particular, builds generational wealth by providing a valuable asset that can be passed down to future generations. It acts as a stepping stone to financial security and serves as a foundation for economic growth and stability within families and communities.

Moreover, real estate ownership allows us to have a voice in the development and revitalization of our neighborhoods. By actively participating in the real estate market, we can shape the trajectory of our communities, create affordable housing options, and combat gentrification by preserving cultural heritage and supporting inclusive development.

Celebrating Black Business Month reinforces the importance of economic equity and recognizes the vital role that ownership plays in achieving it. Ownership in business and real estate empowers us to overcome historical disparities, build intergenerational wealth, and create economic opportunities.

To advance economic equity, it is essential to confront the systemic obstacles that impede Black entrepreneurship and hinder access to real estate ownership. This calls for continuous endeavors to dismantle discriminatory practices, broaden access to capital and resources, offer mentorship and support, and cultivate an inclusive business environment.

The celebrations of Black Business Month should prompt us to reflect on the importance of ownership in business and real estate for Black individuals and communities. It is through ownership that we can shape our own narratives, uplift our communities, and pave the way for a more inclusive and prosperous future.

Don’t File Your Taxes Just Yet

Are you unsure about your deductions and dreading getting a refund? Yes, you read correctly. If you are getting a refund then you gave the government a loan at 0% interest. That’s money you could have used during the year to invest or reinvest in real estate that you’ve wanted.

Did you know you can invest in real estate with that refund your accountant informed you is coming? Tax Lien and Tax Deed Investing can be done with a tax refund check.

Counties and Municipalities rely on the collection of property taxes, school taxes, water and sewer charges to fund local services (garbage, parks, road maintenance, libraries, transportation) and for police, firefighters, EMTs and other public safety workers.

If the property taxes are not paid the county sells tax lien or tax deed that is associated with the house or land in order to cover the tax collection shortfall. A public auction of tax liens is held as is mandated by state statute.

What is a Tax Lien?

Tax Lien is a legal interest placed on the property for failure to pay taxes. You are bidding to obtain the lien not the actual property. Although in some cases you may obtain the property if you are able to foreclose the lien. After a tax lien sale, you are issued a tax lien certificate for each successful bid.

How is a Tax Deed different from a Tax Lien?

In a Tax Deed auction, you are bidding to get the actual property. The county issues a quit claim deed which offers no promise that the title is clear of all liens. There is however a process to obtain a clear title.

Tax lien and tax deed investing may be the missing piece to that financial leap you’ve been yearning for as the corporate job leaves you feeling underappreciated. Or it could be that you are looking for some consistent cash flow in your business so you can focus more on becoming a highly sought-after consultant. Maybe you are stressed-out about not having enough money for retirement and tax lien investing could be the missing piece to your retirement goals.

Your business and your life could be different. You can acquire real estate with equity, no mortgage and make double digit returns. This is doable for you!

Go ahead and start your tax lien investing journey by contacting the treasurer’s department in your county and ask when is the next tax sale, what are the requirements, and how to get a copy of the list. You may also reach out to us at apexglobalproperties.com for more information.

You may be asking if this will work for you and are there risks. All investments involve risk and you should be aware of your risk tolerance level and financial situations at all times.

Tony Robbins (American Author) says it well, “by changing nothing, nothing changes”. The most important thing you can do is start saying yes to the things that will get you to your goals.
